Im following these instructions:
and Ive gotten to this part:
but I dont know if this is correct or what to do next:
I just saw this post after I saw the other post and answered some questions there. And after I answered some other questions in the other thread you started on this too.
It’s probably best to keep all of your questions in one thread instead of spreading them out over several different threads.
Thanks. We’ll this post is actually a problem I have. I can’t follow the instructions because I think in getting a different page which is why I posted the image here.
Is that where I’m supposed to paste the yaml code?
Most people use a text based editor to make configuration changes. Notepad++ is what I use, others use different one’s as long as it will do just simple text and no special encoding of characters.
Then open your configuration.yaml file in that editor to modify it. The location of that file depends on how you installed HA as described in the other thread.
Did you ever answer as to which installation method you used?
Once you open that file up (that gets created by default with a minimum configuration on a new install) then you can use that to compare to the example configurations in the documentation.
I’ve never used the configurator so I can’t really help you with that.
Again, I don’t use Hassio so some of this is just trying to remember what I’ve read on here but…
My understanding is that you should setup SSH and Samba with the add-ons.
Then you can access the configuration directory via the Samba share and edit it on your PC with your preferred text editor.
SSH is very useful for running occasional command line stuff but to be honest aside from troubleshooting you won’t likely use SSH that much on HassOS (I don’t think…). I very rarely use SSH anymore and I run HA in Docker on a full Debian install on a NUC so I have more flexibility with being able to run other apps on that machine too.
Ok I got it. It opens up a new tab with an text editor. I was supposed to click on the folder icon on the top left so I could go to the files folder and click on configuration.yaml to add the Configurator side menu.
